Trash can:  I've already noticed that "deleted" messages still exist in the database, and can still be reached by URL if you remember the MsgID.  Given that, we might as well have a chance to correct accidental deletions or read deleted email if it's really important.  I like the idea of email that can't be truly deleted either.  Incorruptible paper trails can help keep people honest.
 
I thought this was my original idea until I read it here.  I would like to see the archiving feature so I will only see new mail when I open the page.

This thread was started in March. Has the email system been improved since this topic was first brought up?

Pretty discouraging...

what about a forward i mean the leaders of an allaince could then forward messages to each other instead of copying and pasting. or if your a (clears thought) a spy you could then forward the messages frome the alliance your spying on to you contact.

One more.


Player messages in game should have a unique identifier.  That way players know another player sent it, and it's not a system-msg generated in the game (like caravans arrive, troops fight, etc)


Best way to code it in?  Use the same purple / light blue subtext that you see in the trading icon (the gold coins up top).


Green numbers at the top = mail messages

Purple numbers at the bottom = player sent messages


That would rock.

There are some things in my mailbox that I always want to keep.  Maybe for others it's a funny message, or an invitation to join an alliance and they want to hold that option open.


But everytime you raid or your caravans do stuff -- the inbox quickly fills up.   Then it's annoying to have to select those items to not delete EVERY TIME.


Suggestion:  Add a feature to 'keep for your records' or 'save' a mailbox item.  You can max it out at 10 or so, so players don't stress your servers.  But a way to save some mail AUTOMATICALLY every time if you toggle it on/off.

This would make it VERY easy to select all and delete your mailbox often - while still keeping those mails you find important.



Thanks,

-Grun

Hey all,

Here are some suggestions I thought of one night when I was watching my buildings build... Feel free to comment. These suggestions have to so with the Email system:

****************************
Email:

  1. In an email, what about a delete button on the email itself? It would be nice to delete a message Im done with as soon as Im done reading it instead of having to go back to mail and then delete it. 
  2. Auto Delete - I would love a auto-delete ability to be set PER type of mail (Military, magic, people, sent, etc). We should be able to set a auto deletion time that it would auto perge all mail older than the time, per type. So, if I set Military on 3 days and sent mail on 7 days and people on 0, it would never auto delete human mails to me, it would delete military emails after they were 3 days old and sent mail deleted after 7 days old. This would help keep the servers clean.
  3. Sorting Mail - I would love to see the ability to "sort" my game mail. For instance, if I receive something I want to keep, I could move it to a new "folder" I create (like I would do in my Outlook Email at home). 
  4. Turning system emails on and off - I think it would be nice if we could determine WHICH system mails we would like to see. For instance, I could care less that my caravans are returning. But I DO care when they arrive or if they get destroyed or bumped. I need Scout mission results and military success and failures, but may not care about others.
  5. Confederation mail - Have access for the "leaders" to allow confederation "leaders" mail your entire alliance as well, just like they were part of you mail. It would need to be a controlled access so only the founder (the person who control the capital city of the alliance), could send mail to all confederation alliances, or select which confederations alliances to send to. 
  6. Reply to Alliance/Forward - Would be handy to be able to forward a mail message a person sent you to your entire alliance. Kind of like a reply to alliance or a forward to them at least. Right now, you could only reply to the sender. 

****************************

Feel free to comment or add to!  

thx
